Danvers Bancorp, Inc. Reports Results for the Three Months and Year Ended December 31, 2009
DANVERS, MASSACHUSETTS (January 28, 2010): Danvers Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: DNBK), the holding company for Danversbank and Beverly National Bank, today reported net income of $2.6 million, for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 compared to a net loss of $37,000 for the same quarter in 2008. A significant increase in net-interest income and a lesser increase in non-interest income more than offset higher provision for loan losses, increased salaries and benefits expense and expenses associated with the Beverly National Corporation (“Beverly”) merger. In particular, net interest income improved by $6.5 million or 51.5%, between the comparable periods.
For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company recorded net income of $5.3 million compared to a net loss of $2.7 million for the same period in 2008. A $11.7 million increase in net interest income more than offset increases in provision for loan loss and non-interest expense between the two periods. It should be noted that the loss in 2008 was largely impacted by two non-recurring items; a $6.9 million pretax charge related to the establishment of the Danversbank Charitable Foundation and a $3.7 million pretax charge related to the acceleration of the Company’s phantom stock plan. Both charges directly relate to the Company’s conversion in January 2008 from a mutual form of organization to a public stock holding company.
Compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2009, net income increased to $2.6 million from net income of $1.2 million. A significant increase in net-interest income and a modest increase in non-interest income offset increases in the provision for loan losses, salaries and employee benefits and expenses associated with the Beverly merger.
2009 fourth quarter financial highlights include:
· 49% consolidated growth in gross loans (21% growth Danversbank only);
· 58% consolidated growth in total deposits (21% growth Danversbank only);
· Non-performing assets to total assets of 0.73% compared to 0.41% for Q4 ‘08 and 0.73% for Q3 ‘09;
· Net interest margin of 3.57% compared to 3.24% for Q4 ‘08 and 3.23% for Q3 ‘09;
· Net interest income increased 52% compared to Q4 ‘08 and 36% compared to Q3 ‘09; and
· Non-interest income increased 45% compared to both Q4 ‘08 and Q3 ‘09.
“2009 marked the continued expansion of our retail franchise evidenced by the opening of two new branches in Cambridge and Waltham and the acquisition of Beverly National Corporation which added eight branches to our network. We were also pleased by robust non-merger related growth in both loans and deposits and the significant improvement in our net interest margin over the last two quarters. This performance however should be viewed in the context of an increasingly competitive banking marketplace in Eastern Massachusetts. In recent months, we have witnessed both renewed activity by the national banks with a historic presence in the area and greater competition from regional banks headquartered in neighboring states,” noted Kevin T. Bottomley, President and CEO.
Earnings per share basic and diluted for the fourth quarter of 2009 and 2008 were $0.14 and $0.0, respectively. Earnings per share basic and diluted for the year ended December 31, 2009 were $0.31. Earnings per share are not applicable for year to date and quarterly periods prior to June 30, 2008, as the Company did not issue stock until January 10, 2008.
Merger
On October 30, 2009, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger by and between Danvers Bancorp, Inc. and Beverly National Corporation, dated as of June 16, 2009 (the “Merger Agreement”), the merger was consummated. In connection with the merger, Beverly stockholders received 1.66 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for each common share of Beverly, which amounted to 4,473,625 shares or $62.1 million in the aggregate. For more information about the merger with Beverly, refer to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-4, including exhibits, filed on August 28, 2009, and the Company’s Form 8-K, including exhibits, filed on October 30, 2009, with the SEC and available at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov (symbol “DNBK”).
2009 Earnings Summary
The Company’s net interest income increased $6.5 million, or 51.5%, during the fourth quarter of 2009 compared with the same period in 2008. For the year ended December 31, 2009, net interest income increased $11.7 million, or 24.8% compared to the prior year. These increases are directly related to the overall growth of the franchise and in particular, the Company’s significant loan growth during the comparable three and twelve month periods. Net loans increased $421.9 million and $544.7 million for the quarter and the year, respectively. Non-merger related loan growth was $110 million and $234 million for the quarter and year, respectively. In addition, the Company’s funding costs declined by $836,000 and $2.9 million, respectively, between the comparable periods.
The Company’s net interest income, during the fourth quarter of 2009, increased $5.1 million, or 35.8%, when compared to the third quarter of 2009. The Company’s net interest margin (“NIM”) was 3.57% for the quarter ended December 31, 2009, a 33 basis point increase when compared to the fourth quarter of 2008 and a 34 basis point increase when compared to the third quarter of 2009. While asset yields only declined 8 basis points during the quarter, funding costs declined 49 basis points.
Non-interest income for the fourth quarter of 2009 totaled $2.4 million, an increase of $744,000, or 44.7%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2008. The increase was primarily due to increases in service charges on deposit accounts and income from Beverly’s trust services, offset by declines in gains on sales of loans and securities. For the year ended December 31, 2009, non-interest income increased $562,000, or 8.0%, compared to the same period in 2008. Increases in service charges on deposit accounts, trust fee income and gains on sales of loans were offset by decreases in net gains on sales of securities and income on bank-owned life insurance. Non-interest income increased $743,000, or 44.6%, for the fourth quarter compared to the third quarter of 2009. This was due primarily to increases in service charges on deposits, income on bank-owned life insurance and other operating income. While the Company’s general levels of non-interest revenues continue to improve, developing additional meaningful sources of non-interest income continues to be a significant challenge.
Non-interest expense increased by $5.1 million, or 41.6%, for the fourth quarter of 2009 when compared to the same period in 2008 as the Company experienced increases in salaries and employee benefits, deposit insurance, outside services as a result of the merger, occupancy and other operating expense. The increase in salaries and employee benefits during the quarter was the result of additions to staff due to the Beverly merger and the Company’s continued expansion of its branch footprint and lending activities. Deposit insurance increased $181,000 due to higher insurance premiums. These increases were offset by a $526,000 decrease in other real estate owned expense. For the year ended 2009, the Company’s overall non-interest expenses increased $11.1 million, after excluding the non-recurring items related to the conversion in 2008. The increase is due to increases in other operating expense, salaries and employee benefits, deposit insurance expense and outside services related to the Beverly merger and expansion of the franchise. These expenses were partially offset by a decrease in other real estate owned expense.
2
Non-interest expense increased $4.4 million for the fourth quarter compared to the third quarter of 2009. The increase was mainly due to an increase in other operating expense, salaries and employee benefits, outside services and occupancy expense of $1.4 million, $1.3 million, $601,000 and $334,000, respectively. Expenses related to the Beverly merger are included in other operating expense.
Balance Sheet Summary
Total assets increased by $771.9 million, or 44.7%, from $1.7 billion at December 31, 2008 to $2.5 billion at December 31, 2009, of which $553.0 million of the increase was attributable to the Beverly merger. Net loans increased by $544.7 million, or 49.2%, during the year. During the same period, securities increased by $101.2 million, or 20.6%. The strong growth of the balance sheet and in particular the loan portfolio is attributable to the Beverly merger and the continuing market transfer of larger and well-diversified credit opportunities from some of the larger institutions in the area to some of the community banking franchises. In addition, the Company experienced very strong deposit growth during the year. Deposit balances increased by $647.5 million, or 57.9%, for the year ended December 31, 2009. $404.5 million of these new balances are related to the Beverly franchise. The Company has utilized these cash flows to fund loan originations, retire overnight borrowings and, during the most recent quarter, selectively increase segments of the Company’s investment portfolio.
The Company experienced strong loan demand during the fourth quarter of 2009. Non-merger related loan growth amounted to almost $110 million during the quarter. In addition, the balances in every product category increased during the quarter as a result of the Beverly merger. The combination of the growth and merger increased the outstandings in the Company’s commercial real estate, C&I and residential real estate loan segments by $178.4 million, $117.4 million and $86.3 million, respectively. Gross loans increased $547.2 million for the full year. $313.0 million is related to the Beverly loan portfolio and $234.0 million is related to non-merger growth. The trend, as it has been for the better part of the past three years, has been to systematically wind down the Company’s construction lending activities in favor of C&I and selected permanent commercial real estate opportunities.
The Company experienced a modest decline in its asset quality metrics for the quarter ended December 31, 2009. Total non-performing assets (“NPA’s”) increased to $18.2 million at December 31, 2009 from $13.9 million at September 30, 2009. NPA’s as a percentage of total assets remained unchanged from September 30, 2009 and stood at 73 basis points at December 31, 2009 as a result of the merger. NPA’s as a percentage of total assets totaled 79 basis points and 55 basis points at June 30, 2009 and March 31, 2009, respectively. At December 31, 2009, total NPA’s were composed of $9.1 million in loans considered impaired, $7.7 million in troubled debt restructures (“TDR’s”) and $1.4 million in other real estate owned (“OREO”). The Company added one relationship totaling $3.7 million to TDR’s during the quarter and all of the credits classified as TDR’s were performing in accordance with their modified terms and conditions at December 31, 2009. The total OREO consists of five properties with no particular business segment or industry concentration represented.
“As we have noted in the past, economic conditions in Massachusetts remain challenging and we expect to be faced with continued stresses in our loan portfolio in 2010,” mentioned Bottomley.
Despite these concerns over employment and some softening of the local economy, the Company’s delinquency trends continue to be stable and favorable when compared to many industry peers. The fourth quarter provision for loan losses was $1.8 million compared to $1.5 million for the same period in 2008 and $1.4 million for the third quarter of 2009. The growth of the loan portfolio and to a lesser extent the establishment of specific reserves were the primary reasons for the increase. The allowance for loan losses increased $821,000, or 5.9%, during the fourth quarter of 2009 and represented 0.88% of loans at December 31, 2009 compared to 1.08% at December 31, 2008. The merger of the two franchises and the attendant “purchase accounting” considerations are the reasons that the reserve represents a lower percentage of gross loans. Net charge-offs for the year ended December 31, 2009 were
3
$2.5 million or approximately 0.17 basis points on average loans outstanding. The allowance represents 87.69% of non-performing loans at December 31, 2009.
Deposits increased by $647.5 million, or 57.9%, to $1.8 billion at December 31, 2009 compared to $1.1 billion at December 31, 2008. During the past year, the Company experienced increases in all deposit categories. This growth is attributable to the Beverly merger, shifts in the competitive marketplace and recent additions to the Company’s retail branch network. The Company opened its Cambridge (third quarter) and Waltham (fourth quarter) locations in 2009 and these branches have attracted $19.4 million in new deposit balances.
The Company expects to continue with the expansion of its retail branch network and plans to open a new branch in Boston during the second quarter of 2010 and one in Needham later in the year. Despite the low levels of short-term interest rates, the Company has experienced considerable success at raising “core” deposit balances.
Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (“FHLBB”) decreased by $36.5 million, or 12.1%, at December 31, 2009 compared to December 31, 2008. Management has replaced some of the Company’s short-term borrowing with the aforementioned deposit inflows and in the process has lessened the Company’s reliance on any single short-term funding source. The Company had approximately $218.5 million in various FHLBB term advances outstanding and $172.8 million in short-term borrowings at December 31, 2009. The Company’s short-term borrowings consisted of $120.0 million in overnight FHLBB borrowings and $52.8 million in overnight customer repurchase agreements (“REPO’s”). There were no Federal Reserve Bank advances outstanding at the end of the quarter. From a funding and liquidity perspective, the Company has ready access to a number of large and well-diversified short-term funding sources and these alternatives are available at highly competitive rates given the current rate environment.
